  The food as usual was fantastic. Very flavorful and cooked to perfection. Now unfortunately when entering the establishment the walkway was blocked by a waitress, guests and the musician just standing there talking to eachother. After standing there for about 5 minutes another hostess had to weave around the group to confirm our reservation, then all 3 of us had to weave back through the group since they apparently didn't feel the need to move out of other guests way. After being seated our waitress brought us our menus and told us she would be right back with our waters and bread. Waters came yet bread was something to never be enjoyed. Now let me say that the decor Is beautiful, the dining area is a bit cramped but cozy and even a bit quaint. The downfall of this is that they host a live musicion, as stated before. The musicion is LOUD, hope that you don't get seated near him. You literally have to lean over and yell to your table mate. Lastly about this subject, he is awful. I'm sorry but absolutely tone deaf and every song sounds exactly the same (which is terrible). Invest in a radio and play soft background music with no lyrics. Now about the service, where to begin? As stated we never received bread, but that was merely the beginning. Between each course there was at least a 20 minute wait. We ordered a cheese and cracker platter, salads, a steak and a pork dish and complimentary wines to go with our entrees. Now to me when I order a wine to go with my entree I like to get it with my entree, especially when you specifically state this to your waitress, but no we got it about 5 minutes after ordering. Then 15 minutes later we got our cheese platter, what cheese platter takes 15 minutes to prepare? It had 3 slices of cheese on it and maybe 8 crackers. I could have had that done in 3 minutes. After we were finished with the cheese we set it on the edge of the table to be taken away. Again about 5 to 10 minutes passed of us being finished before the plates were removed. Now we go back to waiting, so far we have been in the restaurant for about 30 minutes, we have ordered and eaten cheese. It takes about 15 minutes later before they bring us a small side salad, again something that takes maybe 5 minutes to prepare since it is lettuce, shredded cheese, two slices of tomato and two slices of cucumber. Not difficult, but apparently 30 minutes of prep time was needed for these salads. We eat this, again the salad was good the basil dressing was delicious! The food has never been a problem here. Again after finishing our salads another 10 minutes to wait for the dishes to be cleared away. Finally the entree is about to arrive....right? We enter this establishment at 715 pm and it is now 845 pm and we have yet to receive our food. Being tortured this entire time by this atrocious "musicion" mind you. Finally we get our food, we eat we pay we leave at 915 pm. This meal has taken about 2 hours from beginning to end. 90% of which was waiting between courses. We love the food here, the chef is magnificent but unfortunately the service is lacking (extremely) and what makes this whole experience worse is you are forced to listen to this tone deaf hack mutilate some beautiful songs. We will not be returning anytime soon.

  The service was very nice and the place is nice and cozy. The food was way too salty, and it's definitely over-priced. A fairly good experience all around though, I'm sure we'll be back for more wine!
